Bay Area Excursion: High Tea & "Hairspray"

( See "Expected Excursion Timing" below)

Take a break from the midsummer heat by joining a delicious and delightful afternoon in San Francisco!

Either board our private coach in Marin or make you way to the city for high tea at the charming tearoom Son & Garden. Enjoy an array of savory finger sandwiches, delicious scones, and sweet desserts in a themed setting.

Next, head to SF Playhouse and take your Orchestra seat for the matinee of the beloved Shaiman & Wittman musical gem Hairspray.

"It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire – to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. As Tracy rises to stardom, she uses her newfound platform to challenge racial segregation on the show, inspiring a movement that will change the face of television forever. With its infectious rhythms, colorful characters, and uplifting story, Hairspray is a joyous celebration of diversity and the power of standing up for what’s right."

Winner of eight Tony Awards including "Best Musical," Hairspray is “stocked with canny, deliriously tuneful songs" and "is as sweet as a show can be without promoting tooth decay.” - The New York Times
